Blue Angels in San Francisco

What it is about, I don't know, but there are these giant jets flying around the sky right now zooming right by the windows and they're so loud that they're setting off car alarms. At lunch my friend and I were in Portrero neighborhood and one flew over and he pointed up at one of them as it flew overhead and said "look!" and I was like "Wow! It's just like Iraq!"

I think they're doing a couple of shows this weekend.

They used to be based here at Miramar, until it switched from a Naval Air Base to a Marine Air Base. We saw them a lot as kids. They perform these amazing aerial maneuvers. Really, Idle, if you have the chance, you should go see them. It's thrilling (and sometimes heart-stopping) to watch.

seriously, the air show used to be a favorite when i was a kid...then they closed down el toro and it was no more. my grandma used to live right under their flightpath so we'd sit and watch them make their turns back to the show grounds all day. we were even allowed to park right under them back in the day. imagine being 9 years old and having a jet fly a few hundred feet over your head at near supersonic speeds.

They were in a Van Hagar video. They went higher and higher and higher, straight up they climbed. They went higher and higher. They left it all behind.

Black Angels > Blue Angels

Actually we saw the Blue Angels practicing in SoCal on the drive to San Diego one morning. We left very early and they were flying around in the middle of nowhere. It was kinda cool. Then we realized we were going 30 and stopped watching.

UPDATE:

We were just standing on the terrace of our work building and two of the planes flew straight up together and then split apart and arched down and flew into the shape of a heart and the exhaust in the sky made the heart and then a third plane flew through the middle of the heart and made a streak that was like the arrow going through the heart. It was very special.
